Would stay again!

We loved all of the Kona themed decor! The condo was clean and well stocked. There weren't any boogie board like advertised, but we found a cheap one at the ABC store that my son loves. We would definitely stay again.

Snobby neighbors

This is an incredibly quiet community. I was playing music on my phone and received a phone call, email, knock on the door and a notice on the door. Then when drying laundry at 10pm a neighbor angrily knocked on the door. I felt so uncomfortable with the snobbiness and unwelcoming environment I left 2 days early.

Girls Trip

This unit is as described and that the pictures show with many accessories that you need for the beach. Having hooks everywhere was so great and helped to keep everything in place and organized during our stay. The loft was perfect for providing separation, but should note that the spiral staircase is pretty narrow and the stairs are a bit tricky to navigate for adults, and I would imagine if there were any mobility issues it would not be a good fit. Some of the beach items are in need of replacement-umbrella and chairs. There are also a lot of rules-some are of the HOA and there really is not the issue of the unit itself, but all the signs reminding of the rules everywhere around the unit made it feel a bit unwelcoming. It would also be nice if some starter items for the kitchen were there-only salt and pepper. A little package (one pot) Kona coffee and maybe sugar would have been a nice start as we arrived late and did not have energy to go to the store after a very long day of travel and maybe some other staples like olive oil and some other spices. The bathroom door did not lock or even latch so that needs some maintenance as well. In all, we enjoyed our stay and the location, set up and price were great.

Great stay, nice complex, convenient location.

Family of three with a teenager. We really enjoyed this place, nice view from the lanai, well furnished and equipped. Be prepared to walk up three flights of stairs. Pool and clubhouse with grills, great ocean side spot with chairs to watch sunset or have morning coffee and watch for whales. Our neighbors two nights were unfortunately loud, but they were not residents, just our bad luck. Great location convenient to everything along Alii Drive.

Great location and sunsets

We had a great time during our visit. The property grounds are beautiful. The condo very clean and had all the beach and swimming gear needed. We will definitely be staying here when we return. The sunsets are just out the door, every night we would go sit by the ocean and let Mother Nature show us her beauty. Mahalo for allowing us to use your home away from home. Aloha

Great location. Good amenities. Ocean “toys” are in need of replacement. Many positives, would return, but not before the place has had a deep clean. Too many “decor” pillows and bad smells. Sad to say, the showers curtain could stand on its own. Otherwise, cutely decorated and great location with wonderful amenities and balcony. Parking was an amazing plus! Thanks!

Great Condo for Adults

My husband and I rented this condo for our honeymoon and loved the large living room and kitchen area. It was just enough space for the two of us. The residence where the condo is located has a lot of rules, especially around the pool and regarding noise levels. It was fine for us, as we appreciated the quiet. But I would probably not bring any groups or children to this condo building. We really appreciated having the cooler, towels, and beach chairs in the unit to use. Great location as it is only a few minutes from lots of restaurants and shops.

Wonderful stay in Kailua-Kona #Octocondo

This place was a great success. Location is central, property is so clean, pleasant and comfy! The kids (5, 9) had a blast with the upstairs space. The master bedroom is spacious and beautiful. The beach gear provided (life vests, boards, noodle, beach towels, mats, snorkeling gear) was such a wonderful addition! We met some lovely neighbors and I would absolutely recommend this property. If you plan on cooking, do bring everything as there are no items provided at all (salt, sugar, oil...)
